What Defines Me

What defines me Christopher Burton I hear people telling me what really defines me. The people that address me they addresses me as a wannabe thug because the way I act and dress maybe even because I’m brown coming from poverty. Certain people need to wake up and stop being homophobic , racist , judgmental and negative . When are we going to accept gay people as an equal as straight people being in love? When are the cops going to stop shooting on a black and brown person ? So I ask myself what defines me and all of you. The world of define can be hard to search but it takes courage to know that we are not afraid to show the world who we really define ourselves. Don’t let society defines you as a criminal Don’t let homophobic define your beautiful sexuality. Don’t let fear define who you are . And don’t let anything define you negative till you die. I define myself as a humble prestigious , proud young brown man walking into the beautiful bright light shadows still living in a happy planet world called Earth
